MORRIS – Shortly after Istarted working for the UnitedWay of Grundy County in Sep-tember 2010, I was asked how Iliked my new job.
I always replied then thesame way I would still replytoday – “I’m home.”
I have worked in thenonprofit sector for morethan 25 years at a few localnonprofit agencies beforecoming to the United Way.Through the years working foragencies, I have learned of themany struggles nonprofits gothrough to provide programsand services. They rely onstate, federal and local supportto provide programs andservices in Grundy County.My previous work with localagencies, I feel, gives me agreater understanding of whatthese agencies endure on adaily basis in order to meet theneeds of those they help.
In the nearly five yearsI’ve been at the United Wayof Grundy County, I haveseen the difference our effortsmake in the community. TheUnited Way of Grundy Countysupports local agencies byawarding grants annually, sothey can help those who livein our community. There are
29 local nonprofit agenciesthat receive funding from ourUnited Way. The funding tothese agencies comes from thegenerosity of individuals, busi-nesses, companies and theiremployees through our annualfundraising campaign.
The money raised by ourUnited Way stays local. Morethan $380,000 is awardedannually to local nonprofitagencies, which provide vitalprograms and services to morethan 38,000 Grundy Countyresidents.
I am so proud that due tothe overwhelming supportof the community, we haveexceeded our campaign goalfor the last three years. Thesurplus funds raised wentright back into the commu-nity through mini-grants tolocal nonprofit agencies. Theadditional funds raised alsoenabled our United Way toprovide funding and supportfor the relief efforts for thoseaffected by the 2013 flood and
tornado disasters. In total,nearly $105,000 in additionalfunding went right back intothe community because ofthe generous support of ourdonors. These successes arejust one of the many reasonsI am so grateful to have a jobwhere I know what I do makesa positive impact for others.Some people may wonder whya single mom of two daughterswould work for a nonprofit asopposed to a for-profit compa-ny. For me, it’s simple: Work-ing in the nonprofit field istruly a rewarding experience.Being a part of an organizationthat makes a difference forfamilies, children, seniors andthe community is somethingthat makes me very proud.
The other thing that makesme grateful for the years ofmy career in the nonprofitfield, is the positive impact ithas made on my daughters.They both have grown to becompassionate, giving youngadults who always are lookingto help others. They say homeis where your heart is. For me,working for the United Way ofGrundy County is “home.” Iam doing something I am trulypassionate about, helping tomake a difference for others,
and carrying that on to mychildren who will one day dothe same for others. One of mymost favorite quotes is by D.Elton Trueblood: “It takes anoble man to plant a seed fora tree that will some day giveshade to people he never met.”
The United Way of GrundyCounty has been providingsupport in the communitysince 1946. Grundy County is agreat community where peoplehelp one another in times ofneed. I think as a community,everyone in Grundy Countyworks together to not onlyplant those seeds, but alsokeeps them nourished so theycontinue to grow, which iswhat makes Grundy County agreat place to live and work.

3COVER STORY
ByALLISON SELKShaw Media correspondent
MORRIS – Ronald Varlandof Morris holds his hearingtest results, confirming whathe already had suspected: hehad some moderate hearingloss.
“I knew I was sufferingfrom a little hearing loss, butI wanted to have my hearingchecked to confirm what I al-ready knew. This testing wasvery beneficial,” Varland said.
Sunday, the Morris LionsClub sponsored free hearingbus exams in the parking lotof First Midwest Bank. Mor-ris Lions Club member andchairman of the event Mary-Jane Gillespie said the hearingbus had not been in Morris forabout 10 years.
The club had some extrafunds and thought the hearingbus would be beneficial, mem-ber Judy Miller said.
“We do a candy drive inOctober at Wal-Mart, and themoney raised during thattime is used for projects. Wehad a good year last year, andwe thought this hearing buswould be a great project forthe Morris Lions Club,” Millersaid.
Lion’s Club member Jo-anne Johnson said she hasbeen a recipient of the testing,and it was an eye-opening ex-perience.
“One year my husband saidif he had to go get his hearingtested, then I had to go, too. Weboth took the test, and come tofind out he passed, and I didn’t.I was the one with the hearingloss and had no idea,” Johnsonsaid.
With 15 to 20 percent ofparticipants suffering frommoderate to profound hearingloss, Lions of Illinois Founda-tion Hearing Technician JoeKrenkel feels the Lions Clubhearing bus is an asset to thosein the community.
“The tests we perform arewhat we call ‘normal abilityhearing tests,’ which means,
we put the person on the hear-ing bus behind a closed door,but they can still hear all of the
background noise from otherson the bus, and from the out-side surroundings. We want
to see what they can hear ina normal social setting withbackground noise,” Krenkel
said.

Spring on the farm is a time of change andnew life.
As the temperatures rise the farmer gets busyreadying fields and planting crops, in GrundyCounty that typically means corn and soybeans.
New life starts to show up in the pastures andthe barns as mother cats give birth to new lit-ters and calves stumble to their feet for the firsttime, under the watchful eye of their moms andfarmers.
UPCLOSESpring on the Farm

MORRIS – With the startof a new fiscal year comesthe Morris state of the cityaddress, delivered Friday byMayor Richard Kopczick.
The first meeting of fiscal2015 was held Friday morningright after the last meeting ofthe previous city council.
Kopczick first highlight-ed some of the city’s success-es, including the continuationof a $0.65 multiplier on prop-erty taxes, even with a steady
decline in equalized assessedvalue in the area.
The mayor also pointed outthe conversion of all the city’sstreet lights downtown toLED, which was a cost-savingmeasure for the city.
The city shared more than$2.1 million tax dollars to as-sist local schools and othertaxing bodies, in another at-tempt to keep residents’ taxeslower, Kopczick said.
Phase II at Deer Ridge Parkwas completed, and the cityhopes to complete Phase IIIthis year, as well as adding a
dog park to Lion’s Park.The city will bring new
funds with the creation of TIFII, also known as the MarinaTIF District, to aid the devel-opment of the Marina Project.
The addition of a canineunit to the Morris Police De-partment and a new three-year contract with the policeofficers union highlight ad-vancements in protection ofthe city.
Kopczick said the city hasbeen working with Costcoover the last year on an annex-ation agreement for the 140
acres adjacent to the existingfacility for a new developmentbringing jobs to the city.
The city continues to workon an intergovernmentalagreement with Grundy Coun-ty and the Village of Minookafor Brisbin Road improve-ments north of Interstate 80,making sure developers cov-er the costs of road improve-ments.
To further stimulate theeconomy, Morris MunicipalAirport is starting work May18 to add 500 feet to its 5,000foot runway, making Morris
more desirable for corpora-tions, Kopczick said.
The city plans to have aflood plain study conducted inthe Fourth Ward after beingthwarted by the storms of lastJune.
Kopczick thanked the for-mer aldermen and said helooks forward to workingwith Doug Hayse and Jeff Wa-chowski, two new aldermensworn in Friday.
He ended with a thank youto city employees and resi-dents for making Morris agreat city.

• HEARINGContinued from page 3
With the Morris Fire Sta-tion right across the streetfrom the bank, two firefighterswalked over to the hearing busfor an exam.
Morris firefighter Jeff Wil-son said he came over to gettested, even though he wasn’ttoo worried about his hearing.
“I wasn’t too worried, butI wanted to check because it’sgood information to know.You may think you don’t havehearing loss, but you might.They did a good job and I willdefinitely have my hearingchecked again next time theyare around,” Wilson said.
Gillespie said the screeningwas open to almost any age,except those under preschoolage, and with instant results, itmakes it a quick process.
“With parental consent,children as young as preschoolage are welcome, and then ofcourse, adults can be any age.And, the big benefit is thatthe results are immediate, soif there are any problems, wecan recommend further ac-tion,” Gillespie said.
One of the youngest to betested was Morris resident,and daughter of Morris Lion’sClub member Paula Newsom,
12-year-old Avery Newsom.Avery was not scared to do thetest, and passed with flyingcolors.
“It was fun to do. It wasn’tscary at all. I liked trying tolisten to the beeps to see if I amdeaf or not,” Avery said.
After the three to five min-ute test is complete, Krenkelthen shares and explains theresults to the participant, us-ing a scale of hearing lossform. If any further testing isneeded, he recommends seeingan audiologist and physician,or otolaryngologist which isan ear, nose and throat doctor.
According to the Lion’sClub event news release, thereare nearly 720,000 hearingimpaired persons in Illinoisalone, making it one of themost common chronic dis-abilities. Of these hearing im-paired, 106,000 are deaf, with26,000 deaf before the age of 19.
Miller said donating to thecandy day fundraiser in Octo-ber is a great way to fund freecommunity services, like thehearing bus. The next fund-raiser, ends this week, withthe annual Mother’s Day rosesale. Orders still can be tak-en until Tuesday.

MORRIS – The Morris Com-munity High School gymna-sium boasted a yellow brickroad Saturday afternoon, overwhich a parade of young menand women dressed to thenines strutted their stuff.
Prom was this weekendand the annual prom walk washeld just before the big event.The walk gives family andfriends a chance to see the cou-ples all dressed up and at theirfashion best.
The theme this year was, “ANight in the Emerald City,” af-ter the movie, “The Wizard ofOz.” Encircling the gym floorwas a large oval mat paintedwith yellow rectangles, rep-resenting the yellow brickroad. Principal Kelly Husseysaid the Winterguard donatedits old tarps that were used tomake the distinctive runway.
“Everything is going fantas-tic,” Class of 2016 sponsor Lau-ra Wills said midway throughthe event. “All the kids at Mor-ris High School represent usso well, and I couldn’t be moreproud of my students. ... Theydid so much more than classeshave done in the past.”
The school’s proms are or-ganized by each year’s juniorclass. Wills said they starttheir freshman year and workfor three years on organizingand fundraising.
The students took a turnaround the gym, stopped hereand there for snapshots, thenboarded the buses for the bigevent. In all, there were 344students going and 20 chaper-ones.
Walking the runway, thegirls were classy and sassy,and the boys dapper in theirtuxedos and ties.
Friends Ian Bashor, a se-nior, and Autumn See, a ju-nior, said they were excitedabout going to prom. See’sfloor-length dress was of goldsequins, and her shoes weregold high-heeled platforms.
“My mom put the wholething together,” she said.
Bashor sported a black tuxwith a gold vest and tie andsaid he was looking forward tothe food the most. “It should begood,” he said with a smile.
Seniors Jocelyn Matamo-ras and Thomas Dabney chosepink for their color. Matamo-ras said the event was goingto be a nice way for the upper-classmen to have some fun alltogether.
Cowboy boots were the foot-wear of choice for some of theprom-goers, including JaredHendricks, Katheryn Johnsonand Libby Ostrem. Hendrickseven wore a cowboy hat.
“It’s just something we feltlike we should do,” Johnsonsaid. “It’s fun. It’s my person-ality.”
“I came from a long line of
hillbillies,” Hendricks said.All in all, there were the
normal hitches of the promwalk – a few mishaps involv-ing high heels and the longtrains of gowns being steppedon, one just as the young wom-an began her walk around the
gym. When she wasn’t goinganywhere, she realized a footwas inadvertently standing onher train.
Senior Lildaryl James’mother, Tiffany Guyton, andfather, Daryl James, attend-ed to see their son. He was
attending prom with a groupof friends. Guyton said shethought he would probablymiss school after graduation.She was a little sentimental.
“He told me, ‘Thank youfor making me the man that Iam,’ ” she said.

Crime, mystery writerRuth Rendell dies at 85THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO – DavidGoldberg, a popular SiliconValley executive and husbandof Facebook second-in-com-mand and “Lean In” authorSheryl Sandberg, has died sud-denly at age 47, his companyand family members said Sat-urday.
Goldberg was CEO of onlinesurvey questionnaire providerSurveyMonkey. He died Fri-day night, the company said ina statement on its website.
Family members also re-ported the death, via postingson Facebook. Neither thecompany nor family releaseda cause or other details abouthis death. Facebook founderand CEO Mark Zuckerbergtold The New York Times thatGoldberg died while he was onvacation abroad with his wife.
“Dave Goldberg was anamazing person, and I am gladI got to know him,” Zuckerbergwrote on his Facebook page.“My thoughts and prayers arewith Sheryl and her family.”
In an interview last month,Goldberg told the news siteBusiness Insider of maxingout his credit cards in the ear-ly 1990s to fund one of his firstInternet ventures, a music
site, before going on to work atother tech companies, includ-ing Yahoo.
In 2004, Goldberg marriedSandberg, another longtimetech executive who now servesas Facebook’s chief operatingofficer.
Sandberg launched aninternational conversationabout the dearth of women inpositions of power with her2011 book “Lean In: Women,Work and the Will to Lead.”
In it, Sandberg wrote of theadjustments she and her hus-band had to make to managetwo high-profile careers while
raising two children.Goldberg was a “true part-
ner,” she wrote, and he helpedmake her career possible.
“I truly believe that thesingle most important careerdecision that a woman makesis whether she will have a lifepartner and who that partneris,” Sandberg wrote.
Goldberg’s brother askedon Facebook for friends andfamilies to post their memo-ries on David Goldberg’s Face-book page. Tributes rolledin from people who wrote ofmeeting him during his longtech career.

PHILADELPHIA – Thefill-in Santa whose downfieldjaunt at a Philadelphia Eaglesgame in 1968 lives on in sportshistory for the hail of snow-balls and shower of boos thatrained down on him has died.Frank Olivo was 66.
Olivo died early Thursdayat a suburban hospital after along battle with heart disease,diabetes and other ailments,said his cousin, RichardMonastra.
The story of Olivo’s misfor-
tune has long been held up asa symbol of Philly sports fans’ferocity, but far from mindinghis moment in sports history,Olivo “gloried in it,” Monastrasaid.
“It was his 15 minutes offame. He kind of liked it, actu-ally,” he said.
The snowy onslaught beganwith the real Santa Claus stuckin New Jersey and unable tomake it to the final game of theseason between the MinnesotaVikings and a moribund Ea-gles team that started the yearwith 11 straight losses.
Olivo, who was in the
stands wearing a Santa suitand fake white beard, wasasked to fill in.
But when he ran downfieldpast a row of elf-costumed “Ea-glettes” and the team’s 50-per-son brass band playing “HereComes Santa Claus,” thun-derous boos erupted from thecrowd of 54,535 and snowballsbegan raining down.
The halftime behaviorduring the team’s final homegame, broadcast around thecountry on Howard Cosell’snational sports show, helpedcement Philadelphia’s reputa-tion for rowdy sports fans.

L O N D O N – M y s t e r ywriter Ruth Rendell, whobrought psychological in-sight and social conscienceto the classic British detec-tive story, has died at theage of 85.
Publisher Penguin Ran-dom House said Rendell –best known for the Inspec-tor Wexford series of novels– died Saturday morning inLondon. The cause of deathwas not announced, butRendell had suffered a seri-ous stroke inJanuary.
G a i l R e -buck, chair ofPenguin Ran-dom HouseU . K . , s a i dRendell hadbeen “an in-sightful and elegant observ-er of society” whose work“highlighted the causes shecared so deeply about.”
“Ruth was a great writ-er, a campaigner for socialjustice, a proud mother andgrandmother, a generousand loyal friend and prob-ably the best-read personI have ever met,” Rebucksaid.
Rendell was one of Brit-ain’s most popular crimenovelists and wrote dozensof books, including manyunder the pen name BarbaraVine. She also was a majorinfluence on other writers.Stephen King tweeted thather death was “a huge loss.”
Born Ruth Grasemannin London in 1930, Rendellbegan her career as a jour-nalist on a local newspaper.
The author was appoint-ed to the House of Lords byPrime Minister Tony Blair’sLabour government in 1997,becoming Baroness Rendellof Babergh.
She took the work seri-ously, attending afternoonsessions in Parliament aftershe had finished her morn-ing writing. She was espe-cially involved in the fightto stop female genital muti-lation, Rebuck said.
Her friend and fellowm y s t e r y n o v e l i s t P . D .James, who died last year,also sat in the Lords, as aConservative.
Rendell lived for yearsin the scenic Little Veniceneighborhood of London,surrounded by canals andcolorful houseboats. But thepleasant environment didnot alter her hard-eyed viewof human nature.
“I don’t think the worldis a particularly pleasantplace,” Rendell said. “It is,of course, for some people.But it is a hard place, and Idon’t think it’s being cyni-cal to say that.”
Rendell was consciousof the strong feelings manyof her readers had for Wex-ford, her most famous cre-ation.
“With a series characterlike Wexford, people do re-gard him as a real personthat they become extreme-ly attached to,” she said.“Women have written to meover the years and said thatthey were in love with himand would I kill his wife be-cause they’d like to marryhim.”
The same year, she toldan audience at the Chelten-ham Literary Festival thatshe shied away from writingabout child murder for fearthat writing about it mightin some way show criminalshow to do it.
“I would rather not beinvolved, rather not be re-sponsible,” she said.
The same concerns kepther from writing about cru-elty to animals.

SENECA – When all phasesof the game are working cor-rectly, that’s a good sign fora team, no matter what thesport.
That was the case Saturdaymorning as Seneca cruised toa 10-2 nonconference win overPrinceton.
The Fighting Irish (18-9)collected 10 hits, stole five bas-es and made only one error inthe field in a solid all-aroundvictory. After Taylor Bush-man held Princeton scorelessin the top of the first inning,Seneca staked her to a quicklead.
In the bottom of the inning,Jenni Nugent drove in KarlieCade with an RBI single, thenscored on an RBI double byLexi Trompeter. An out lat-er, an RBI single by MichaelaCouglin brought home Trom-peter for a 3-0 lead.
Princeton struck backfor two runs in the top of thesecond. With one out, AlisaHolmbeck singled, and a walkto Madyson Cain put runnerson first and second. Holm-beck stole third and, when thethrow went wide, scored tomake it 3-1.
Briike Hieronymus singledto put runners on first andthird, and a wild pitch allowedCain to score and cut the Sene-ca lead to 3-2. It stayed that wayuntil the bottom of the fourth.Bushman led off by reachingon an error, and Paige Hackerbunted to move her to second.
The throw was wide of first,sending Bushman to third andHacker to second. Cade thenbunted back to the pitcher andwas thrown out at first. LydaRobinson followed with a dou-ble to left that scored both run-ners for a 5-2 lead.
After Robinson went tothird on a passed ball, Nugentgrounded to short. The throwcame home, but Robinson beatit to make it 6-2.
“It took a little while for usto get the bats going,” Senecacoach Don Stecken said. “Butonce we did, we kept it up. Wehave 10 girls hitting .300 orbetter, so we don’t really haveto rely on three or four girls
to do it all offensively for us.We probably lead the leaguein 4-foot-11, fast players, so welike to use our speed. We havea couple of slap hitters and welike to be aggressive on thebases.”
The Irish kept the pressureon in the fifth. With two outs,Hacker reached on an error,then stole second. Cade beatout an infield hit to second,and a bad throw allowed Hack-er to score.
After Robinson walked, Nu-gent beat out an infield singleto third, loading the bases. Awild pitch brought home Cadeto make it 8-2.
Seneca capped the scoringin the sixth, again startinga rally with two outs. AbbyKlicker walked and camearound to score on a double byBushman.
Bushman went to third on awild pitch, then scored on an-other to make it 10-2.
After Bushman threw thefirst five innings, Becca Townethrew the final two. She struckout the side in the seventh toend the game.
“Our pitchers throw strikesand don’t beat themselveswith walks,” Stecken said.“And, our defense is getting
better and better. We are ayoung team, but we are com-ing together well. We hope to
be playing our best at the endof the year.”
Seneca also played against
Fieldcrest on Saturday, andpicked up a 6-0 win.
Sam Tondini had a two-outRBI double to break the score-less tie.
Nugent later added a two-run triple and Trompeter fol-lowed with an RBI double tomake the score 4-0 through twoinnings. The Irish tacked ontwo runs late. Rachel Sangstonwas dominant on the mound,tossing a two-hit shutout witha career high eight strikeoutsagainst just one walk.

Minooka girls takefirst in track by a hair By JOE COWLEY
CLEVELAND – Pau Gas-ol’s voice gained some excite-ment to it Sunday when hewas discussing the attitudeof his Bulls teammates goinginto that Game 6, 54-pointbeat-down of the MilwaukeeBucks to close out the serieslast Thursday.
“It’s about preparation,mental preparation,” Gas-ol said, when asked whythe Bulls have been so upand down from an emotion-al standpoint throughoutthe season. “Get yourself tothat mental state where youjust follow through when thegame comes. I think that’sjust individual and collectivework that needs to be doneprior to the game [Monday].”
A game that Gasol feels isa tone-setter.
It’s been well-document-ed over the last week of howthe No. 2 seeded Cavalierswill be without Kevin Lovefor the rest of the playoffs, as
well as down a J.R. Smith forthe first two games becauseof a suspension by the leaguefor throwing a punch in theGame 4 sweep of the Celtics.
And while Gasol wasn’t tosee the Bulls come out withan aggressiveness that seemsto come and go, coach TomThibodeau warned that theaggressiveness needs to bethere, but at the same timedon’t expect the Cavs to playlike a short-handed team.
“Love obviously is a greatplayer,” Thibodeau said.“But when you have a guylike LeBron [James] who canplay every position and thenyou have a bunch of guys whocan play multiple positions,so they can put a guy likeJames Jones in there, theycan put a [Shawn] Marionin there, Mike Miller, thoseare guys with a lot of experi-ence. They’ll eventually getJ.R. back. They have a lot ofshooting. They have two guyswho can break you down offthe dribble. LeBron can post.Kyrie [Irving] can post some.
Because of Kyrie and LeBronbeing so dynamic, they makethose other guys very effec-tive.
“We can’t go in with theapproach that Love is outso they’re shorthanded.They’re not. You look at theyear [Tristan] Thompson and[Timofey] Mozgov has hadsince he’s been there, thoseare two terrific bigs, very,very talented. And they fittheir team very well.”
Pick a poison.So does Thibodeau try
and lock down James and Ir-ving, making the rest of theCavs beat them or let Jamesand Irving get theirs, makingsure the rest of the roster issilenced?
“If you overcommit [tostopping James and Irving],you’re going to open up a lotof other things,” Thibodeausaid. “But you also have tomake sure that they’re notjust running freely becausethey can beat you by them-selves. It’s a combination ofthe two.”

17OPINIONS2016, yes, it’s early,but pay attention now
It’s conventional wisdomthat the 2016 Republicanpresidential race is at suchan early stage that the pollsdon’t matter. They’re justa measurement of namerecognition at this point,some observers say, and theonly people really payingattention to the campaignare reporters and hard-coreparty activists.
Look at the recent CNN/ORC poll. First of all, it’s ahuge field, and no candidatedominates – Jeb Bush is inthe lead with just 17 percent.But nearly all the respon-dents surveyed have pickeda candidate to support; addtogether every candidate’slittle share of the vote andthe total nears 100 percent,with few undecided.
There’s Bush’s 17 percent,followed by Scott Walkerwith 12 percent; then RandPaul and Marco Rubiowith 11 percent each; MikeHuckabee with 9 percent;Ted Cruz with 7 percent; BenCarson and Chris Christiewith 4 percent each; RickPerry and Rick Santorumwith 3 percent each; andCarly Fiorina, Lindsey Gra-ham, Bobby Jindal and JohnKasich with 2 percent each.Then there are 5 percentwho say they support someother candidate.
Add it up, and that’s94 percent of Republicanswho say they support aspecific candidate now. Atthis point, many voters arelikely making preliminarydecisions based on verylittle information. Theyknow Scott Walker foughtunions in Wisconsin. Theyknow Jeb Bush is George W.Bush’s brother and GeorgeH.W. Bush’s son. They knowTed Cruz was involved in thegovernment shutdown.
In the 2012 campaign, thefirst Republican debate was
held May 5, 2011, in Green-ville, South Carolina. Theparticipants were Ron Paul,Herman Cain, Rick San-torum, Tim Pawlenty andGary Johnson. The big ques-tion that night was whetherPawlenty could ascend to thetop tier of candidates.
This year’s field seemsmuch more stable at an earli-er time. Yes, Kasich mightenter the race – he certain-ly sounded that way lastweekend in New Hampshire– and yes, perhaps anothercandidate will give it a try,too. But the basic structureof the Republican field seemsnearly set.
And strong, too. Back in2011 and 2012, it was commonto hear Republicans com-plain about the weakness oftheir field. Some complaintoday – some always do – butthe fact is the 2016 GOP fieldis a pretty impressive group.Not all of them will make itto the Iowa caucuses. Thekey thing for the winningcandidate is to realize thathe will have to be able toassemble a coalition of thosevoters who support othercandidates in the current14-candidate field.
One thing a candidate – oranyone else, for that matter– should not do is dismisswhat is going on in the racenow as meaningless becauseit is so early. When February2016 comes around, and thevoting begins, some themes(and front-runners) in therace will look a lot like theylook now.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Princess Di said, “I don’t go by arule book ... I lead from the heart, notthe head.”
She knew the basics of bridge,but did not play while in public life. Ifshe had, she would have known thatyou need to use your head and tolead following rules and partnershipagreements.
This deal features a rule for a laterlead. How should the defenders play todefeat six spades after West leads thediamond ace?
In the tournament world, Northwould have responded with athree-diamond cue-bid to show spadesupport with at least game-invitationalstrength. (This permits North to jumpto three spades with a weak hand andfour-card support, getting, as advisedby the Law of Total Tricks, to the nine-trick level with nine trumps when notholding game-going values.)
South used Blackwood before set-tling into six spades. (Yes, Roman KeyCard Blackwood would have been bet-ter because South would have learnedthat North held the spade queen.)
From South’s use of Blackwood,he is supposed to have second-roundcontrols in both rounded suits. So thedefense’s only chance is to score atrump trick. To stop partner from goingwrong, West should continue with thediamond five. East ruffs with the vitalspade nine, which effects an uppercutand promotes a trump trick for West.
When you want partner to ruff, leada loser, not a winner.
Phillip Alder is combining in May2016 with Kalos to run a bridge andgolf river cruise starting from Bor-deaux, France. Details are available onPhillip’s website:

Dear Dr. K: I’ve been takingover-the-counter antihista-mines for years to control myallergies. Now I hear I mayhave to worry about dementia.How real is the concern?
Dear Reader:Antihistaminedrugs have “anticholinergic”(an-tee-cole-in-ER-jik) effects.That means they have sometendency to block the actionof a natural substance calledacetylcholine. This substancetransmits messages in thenervous system. In the brain,it is involved in learning andmemory; in the rest of thebody, it stimulates muscles tocontract.
Drugs with anticholinergiceffects include tricyclic anti-depressants, antihistamines,some muscle relaxants, someintestinal relaxants, treat-
ments for dizziness and drugsto treat overactive bladder. Be-tween about 10 and 40 percentof older adults take drugs withanticholinergic effects. We’veknown for a long time thesedrugs can cause temporarysymptoms such as sleepiness,confusion, and problemswith short-term memory andreasoning.
Earlier this year, research-ers published a study in thejournal JAMA Internal Med-icine which indicated thesedrugs also may increase therisk of a long-term problem:dementia. The research team
studied nearly 3,500 men andwomen ages 65 and older. Theynoted all the drugs, both pre-scription and over-the-counter(OTC), each person took the 10years before starting the study.Then the team tracked the par-ticipants’ health for an averageof seven years.
During that time, 800 of thevolunteers developed demen-tia. The researchers found thatpeople who used drugs withprominent anticholinergiceffects were more likely tohave developed dementia thanthose who didn’t use them, andthe risk of dementia increasedwith the cumulative dose. Thepeople who took the highestdoses for the longest time hada 54 percent higher dementiarisk than people who took thelowest doses for the shortest
time.Several prior studies have
come to the same conclusion asthis study. These prior studieshad included only prescriptiondrugs. This study is the firstto include OTC drugs. In thatway, it is more complete.
This study and several be-fore it that come to similar con-clusions are disturbing. Drugswith anticholinergic propertiesare widely used; I regularlytake a medicine (fortunately inlow dose) that has anticholin-ergic effects. I think this studywas particularly well done.
The body produces less ace-tylcholine as we get older, andblocking its effects can delivera double whammy to older peo-ple. So what does one do whenpresented with evidence likethis? I think we have to balance
the benefits we know we aregetting from the drug againstthe possible risks. We also haveto ask ourselves if we have anyoptions – other drugs to treatthe same symptoms, but whichdo not have prominent anticho-linergic effects.
If you regularly take an an-ticholinergic drug, talk to yourdoctor about alternatives. Forexample, selective serotoninre-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs)are a good alternative to tricy-clic drugs if you have depres-sion. Newer antihistaminessuch as loratadine (Claritin)can replace first-generationantihistamines.
